In the years I have attended the Elegance at Hershey there has never been a shortage of rare, unusual and worthy cars at this invitation only gathering!
A Ferrari and it is NOT red!
Packard was the featured marque and they were hand chosen to represent the custom bodied builds
A little boattail
There is a trunk again, get it the trunk?
'37 Studebaker is from the Canton Ohio auto museum and bullet proof
I was looking for the Rat Pack, Dual Ghia's were very popular with those guys
Italian body-Chrysler HEMI
A friend guessed this is a Pontiac concept car, NOPE!
It was built on a Pontiac chassis from 1969
Firestone LXX wheel/tire combo used on many retro Stutz cars
Sold as an assembled unit
Crazy enough one of these is currently on ebay!
Actually called a CF428, Farago ran Dual of Dual Ghia fame as seen in this blog at one time
Paul Farago was a Chrysler designer who was involved in the Chrysler Ghia cars project which included the Crown limos, he was also a friend of the Forward looking Virgil Exner!
The car was built to showcase Carrozzeria Coggiola = CF - 428 is engine size
Back seat driver in the tiller steered Detroit Electric
I thought this was a Mercedes from my first view, notice the european design and look
Graber body design 1935 Packard built for the Geneva auto show that year.
This Cabriolet from a distance looks like a Mercedes, the chrome accents and european style wheels make this a very unique Packard owned by Ralph Marano of NJ who owns a very impressive Packard collection, about 33 of them!
Do you see a BUICK now?
This Daimler won the best in show for 2015 and deserved it!
Mini bars at both rear seating assignments

It stayed dormant at the Vanderbilt museum in Long Island for years and was getting worse every year. I was actually near the car a few years back and had no idea it was hiding there!
Green soft leather set off the body color perfectly
The very deserving poster car for the 2015 Elegance
A Packard Panther counting down the last breath of Packard under Studebakers near sighted eyes!
A total of 4 show cars were built and also known as a Daytona
